Good morning friends! It's been just over a week since I was here last but that is much better than months in between posts, right? I mentioned in my last post that I have signed up with SU! so you'd see more SU! projects on the blog and today is the first all SU! card in quite some time. I hope you enjoy!

This is fun because it is all, yet to be released, new product from the Holiday catalog...well, almost all new product. I've used the dies from the Coffee Cafe' Photopolymer Bundle as well as the little heart stamp. New is the Designer Paper, tinsel ribbon, and the sentiment stamps!! Eek, isn't it all fun and so cute?

Have you started your Christmas cards yet? Do you do all one type of card or do you all different types of cards to send out? Have a great day all!

Good Saturday morning friends! I know...it has been over a month since I was here last...just where does the time go. Well, no matter, I'm here now so I'll just show you what I made!

So, in the last month I've gotten a new job. I've taken the Children's Ministry Director at New Life Kittitas so my days this last week were filled with kids, music, and fun! Until the beginning of September I'm just 'shadowing' the person who is currently in the position to see how they 'do' their ministry. Of course I had to make some thank yous for the adults and youth that helped out! The adults thank yous are a take off of an idea that my Stampin' Up! upline share on her blog the other day. Instead of coffee I've used Starbucks Refreshers because it has been in the upper 90's low 100's the entire week. I just used some paper I had in my stash and a Jaded Blossom sentiment and threw these together Thursday night for presentation on Friday. I will say we added a Starbucks gift card to the back to make it even more fun!

The bags above and below were for the youth helpers. I didn't want to put too much work into them simply because kids don't appreciate them quite as much as adults do. I did fill the bags with a ton of candy and they got a Starbucks card as well. Again, the stamps are from Jaded Blossom and the bags are some I've had in my stash forever and are from SU!

I'm not sure if you caught it or not but I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and will be soon adding a button you can use to hop on over to my SU! store. I would appreciate your support and will be sending something fun to each person that orders in my first 60 days as a demo!

Thanks for stopping in! I'll be back soon-ish with some more to share before my son's wedding on the 26th of this month then, hopefully, I'll be back even stronger (posting more often) in September!

Yesterday my son and his wife celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary! Of course, I needed to make them a card so I thought I'd share it with you.

To make this card I used an file from SVG Cutting files for this twisty card...talk about easy to put together! The sentiment outside is also from SVG Cutting files and is from the May Cut Club bundle. Papers are from a retired SU! paper pack that includes my favorite SU! color, Rose Red. I cut the inside letters and heart on my Scan N Cut with files that are in the machine. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Java Time stamp set. I used that sentiment as they are parents to a three year old and a 17 month old so coffee is important!

Before you know it we will find ourselves at Father's Day weekend so I've worked on a couple of clean and simple cards these last couple of days and I'm happy to say...I'm done! Woot!

I love how different these cards are and how perfect they are for each of the recipients which is the fun thing about making our own cards. All three cards are made with SVG files from SVG Cutting Files Cut Club and Kawaii files. The sentiment and flower dies are from Jaded Blossom. I just added some stars because dads are stars! A little bit of gel pen gave the cuts some fun character!

Next up on my list this week is to get a graduation card made. I have a plan so I just need to get it executed! Go me! What are you working on right now?

We are quickly approaching my grandson's 3rd birthday so I've been doing a little creating. A few days ago I saw the We R Memory Keepers pinwheel board on Amazon and I thought they would be fun to make for the grandkids to play with so yesterday I made some pinwheels for the grandkids and their cousins. Check 'em out!

All the pinwheel are 10" and made with two sheets of 8"x8" patterned papers that I've had in my craft room for quite some time...apparently they were waiting just for this time! And what is fun about these pinwheel is when you get the pinwheel attachments they are actually functioning pinwheels...so fun!

Well, there you have it for today! I hope you have a wonderful last day of your weekend!
